Open Up Your Eyes

Title: Open Up Your Eyes – Redux (2025) Artist: Lux the Pegasus Software: [to be specified]

🔹 Description:

A remake of a scene I originally created back in 2018 using Source Filmmaker, inspired by the song Open Up Your Eyes from My Little Pony: The Movie. For my birthday, I decided to treat myself with a gift no one else could offer: a new version of this iconic confrontation, infused with all the passion and skill I’ve gained over the years.

And while I haven’t made a video in quite some time, I felt like returning to my roots by creating a timelapse of the process — just like I used to. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/fXqAxlnluoA

⚡ Technical Details: Every strand of fur, every vein, every spark of magic was designed to make the scene more organic, more realistic, more intense. I paid special attention to: the texture of the coats, the tension in Tempest’s muscles, the grime on the steel surfaces, the raw intensity of the magical lightning, and even subtle fangs to emphasize Tempest’s predatory nature.

The whole piece is bathed in an atmosphere of unbearable tension: two unicorns, separated by a barrier of magic, locked in a silent and electric stare-down.

🖤 Why Tempest?
Because she embodies everything I admire: a strong, wounded mare who keeps moving forward no matter the cost. She fascinates with her presence, her lean, powerful body, and that voice… a voice that’s soft, almost youthful, as if it never truly deepened with age. A voice full of unspoken pain, untold stories, and dreams long buried.

This piece is my artistic love letter to Tempest Shadow.
